Washing soiled cloth diapers shouldn't be that big of a deal (It really isn't) especially if she is washing her own mess (If your friend usually wipes her own butt whenever she finishes pooping in the toilet then she shouldn't have a problem with cleaning off her own mess in a cloth diaper). Normally, the majority of the "soil" can be shaked out into the toilet. Then the cloth diaper can be rinsed out in a bathtub sink or powerful shower head under cold running water (Hold the diaper parallel to the water flow to carry out the little particles of poop. Do not hold the diaper perpendicular to the water flow because the particles will spray out everywhere!) and then when cleared of any remaining particles of poop, it can be tossed directly into the washing machine along with a normal load of laundry under a hot wash cycle (It MUST BE A HOT WASH cycle - Only a hot wash will kill any bacteria). If she is going to mess a few diapers before "laundry day" then she could store the rinsed out diapers (Be sure that she rings out as much liquid from the diaper as possible so that it does not drip. It should not be completely dry otherwise staining may occur over time.) in a cloth diaper wet bag prior to "laundry day". When washed, hang the cloth diapers on a clothes line to air dry or put them in a dryer under the "Tumble dry" (No heat) cycle.
